Once Hadrat Bahlul passed by a scholar who was quarreling with someone. 
Bahlul (rah) said, “ If this person had gnosis (ma’rifah) of Allah, he would not have wasted his time quarreling with an ignoramus.”
Life is short and temporary. Its goal is divine pleasure (attained) through obedience to Allah (swt) and Muhammad (saw), His beloved Messenger. Keeping this very short stay in a temporary abode in mind, people who have realised the purpose of their existence are continuously in pursuit of the closeness of Allah. 
As much as a scholar blessed with gnosis hates being drawn into arguments and prefers the worship of his beloved Allah, sometimes circumstances dictate that he come to the defense of the True Faith against the falsities of the people of falsehood.
Among the people of falsehood in these times are the modernist Salafis who have nothing better to do in life that to criticise the authentic schools of fiqh (madhahib/masalik) and vilify their followers. They have appointed as their leaders (Imams) their own whims and fancies and have left no stone unturned in their effort to waylay the faith of the unwary and innocent followers of the Madhahib in general and the Hanafiyya in particular.
